"Here"

 

So she made a mistake and ended up “here”
where sunflowers have taken their leave
and no roses grow all vibrantly red
in soil deprived of nourishment.
 
Sometimes the sun beats fiercely down
and sometimes the rain pools in disdain
here in that place called “here”
that always sings out of tune.
 
But she can still hear the call of the wild
emanating from deep memory stores
that uplifts and places her way over there
away from that place called “here”.
 
So there, over there, is where she goes
to find the true and meaningful
that always sustains and fortifies
while living in that place called “here”.
 
She goes and returns again, again,
but comes back refreshed and renewed
and always gives thanks again, again
for that beautiful place over there.
 
And it truly is beautiful!
